Land Stewardship
Generous soil, clean air, and pure water are the most fundamental gifts we hold as we embrace this land.
In collaboration with nature, we offer these gifts in the form of a profound sensory experience.
We embrace the contours, viewscapes, and latent abundance to grow a landscape that we can taste, smell, hear, see, and touch. New ecological stewardship practices carefully leverage the regenerative nature of fields, forests, waterways, and biology of the natural world.
USDA Organic Certified Farm
We use sustainable agriculture practices including onsite composting, integrated pest management, and drip irrigation to minimizes water waste. Harvesting produce to serve our guests offers the uncommon dining experience of eating foods that were grown within view of their plate. For those who seek to share in the harvest, we invite you to explore our community offerings:
Restoring the Land
In 2017 we began to reinforce ecosystem functions that will continuously enrich this land over time. Our stewardship practices are enhancing the campus with lush forest, multifunctional meadows, vibrant wetlands, and beautiful landscaping. Learn more about recent major restoration projects:
Experiential Outdoor Education
The Pearlstone Campus serves as a vibrant outdoor classroom. Come learn from our eco-stewardship experts and talented educators about the land, water and other natural resources at Pearlstone!
Tree Planting
In the Chesapeake Region, forests which once covered 95% of the watershed now only cover 55%. The long-term benefits of planting trees are numerous and far-reaching. To help address this issue, Pearlstone is planting hundreds of trees on our campus. Join us in this endeavor with a Gift a Tree.
